Congratulations on the engagement!!!! 💝💝

I have Age of Vice on my shelf and have been planning to get round to it in the next month or so and I’m so excited! I have also seen the bad reviews which has slightly confused me because I thought it would be a rave (and w your review I still stand by that prediction. Can’t wait to read)

And THANK YOU for the introduction to The Library Thing ? It’s all I’ve ever wanted? Can’t wait to geek out on my data.

Re Rooney novel - I’m shocked at how starkly different the UK & US covers are. And I’m ngl, I think the UK one is way better (which is good considering I am in the UK)

omg please let me know if you make a library thing account--I'd love to see your collection!

and yes, agreed the UK cover really is gorgeous--that blue is so eye catching and I love the layout--it feels like a call back to vintage covers without being corny. I do like the concept of the US cover, but the yellow is sort of flat?

do let me know what you think about age of vice if you end up reading it!

I will absolutely let you know if I make an account! Maybe in the next few days.

Yessss agree - US concept is fab but colour is so hideous. The spectrum of yellow that it could have been is vast and they choose THAT?

I will! Hoping to read it in the next month or so xxx

Thank you Tara!! It is odd how little I've seen Age of Vice around! It got so much media attention and clearly sold many copies, but I don't know many people at all who read it.
